Perhaps should modify my definition to a time close to now and leave it at that. I wouldn't want my students to read The Time Machine and think I was telling them lies.Torshyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619345210034606549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16617430.post-54048509195947507952007-04-15T16:13:00.000+10:002007-04-15T16:13:00.000+10:00Those are some fine looking youngkers you've got i...Those are some fine looking youngkers you've got in your family, Hannanana.<BR/><BR/>English is flummoxing.
